25 Things I’ve Never Done (that most adults have)

Hello everyone. The other week I was sat having a coffee with my friend Rie and we got onto the subject of holidays. Rie mentioned something she loves to do on camping holidays and was surprised when I said I had never tried it……

“but everyone has done that haven’t they?”

It got me thinking, there are lots of things in life that I have never done, so as a good blogger I decided to write a post about of it.

Obviously I could fill the list with amazing experiences that the majority of the adult population have never tried such as wrestling with a crocodile or writing an award-winning book, but actually I have managed to fill my list quite easily with things that most normalish adults will have done at lest once in their lives.

*Disclaimer* I’m female so there will possibly be things on the list that my male readers will not have done 😀

So in no particular order……

25 Things I’ve Never Done….

1 – Been on an aeroplane. You might think this also implies I’ve never been abroad but I did visit France once on a ferry.

2- Worn a bikini. Even in my youth when I was a stick skinny bean (stop laughing at the back, its true) I would never expose my tummy to the world.

3 – Toasted or eaten toasted marshmallows. This was what my friend was talking about.

4 – Eaten sushi. It’s not just the raw fish that puts me off, but also all that cold rice.

5 – Been on an all girls holiday. I never had the chance to do the 18-30 thing when I was younger due to being a mum. Also I’ve never had a large group of girlfriends.

6 – Smoked. I can say hand on heart I have never even had a puff of a cigarette. Good thing too as I have no will power so would never have been able to quit if I had.

7 – Been to the circus. Either as a kid or as an adult. They never appealed to me. Possibly its the clowns that put me off.

9 – Fired a gun. Possibly you might think this is something that many adults haven’t done but as a girl who grew up on a farm, guns are something I am use to seeing around. However they have always scared me (my mum is a cracking shot though when aiming for rats).

10 – Bungee jumped. I’m not a big fan of danger and heights so this really doesn’t do anything for me.

11 – Broke a bone. I’m quite clumsy but only to the point of bruising myself. I have never needed stitches for any injury either.

12 – Bought a house. I’ve never been in a position to do so, and being a home owner is not something I’ve ever greatly aspired to.

13 – Been arrested. That is not to say I’ve never broke the law, I’m just lucky clever enough never to have got caught!

14 – Been in a hot air balloon. As with bungee jumping this seams a little too dangerous for my liking.

15 – Lived totally alone. I have lived without a partner for many years, but always had kids at home so was never totally alone.

16 – Worn stilettos. I just don’t know how people do it. I have enough trouble walking on flats, I would seriously break my ankle if I ever tried.

17 – Been a bridesmaid. Although I have been a bride twice.

18 – Been to university. Although I have studied at the Open University, I have never had the Uni experience.

19 – Gone on a rollercoaster. Heights and danger….. you can see the pattern here.

20 – Been on jury duty. If I ever get called up it will be for some brain boggling fraud case.

21 – Plucked my eyebrows. I am lucky being quite fair-haired that they don’t look like huge caterpillars because I really am rubbish at all the beauty stuff.

22 – Eaten caviar. As you might have guessed I’m not a great lover of fishy things.

23 – Tried any sort of illegal drugs. I can’t stand the smell of cannabis and have always been way to much of a wuss to think about trying anything else.

24 – Worn false nails/eyelashes. Another girly one, I was tempted to go for false nails when I got married but then decided I would probably spend the day scamming myself!

25 – Drunk soya milk. Yes I know it’s a rubbish one, but I ran out of ideas.

So that is my list. How many of the things here havd you also never done? Are there things not on my list that would be on yours?

Ooh I have done most of these, but there’s definitely some I haven’t – never bungee jumped or been arrested. Or been on jury duty – although I always think I’d quite like to get called up for it! Never fired a gun either – that would scare the hell out of me! #coolmumclub

You’re not alone there chica! There are quite a few on your list I’ve never done like eaten sushi or caviar. Well I tried the caviar. Disgusting! I don’t eat fish of any kind because even the smell makes me nauseous. I tried stilettos once for about 5 seconds then threw them across the room lol. Never again! So yeah, a good many of these I’ve never done. #FamilyFunLinky

I’m with you with the girly stuff, I just dont’get it, and I don’t have time for it! But I like roller coasters and I’d love to go in a hot air balloon. I also LOVE sushi!
Great list, thanks for sharing x
#FamilyFun

There are loads of stuff on here that I have never done either. I mean Sushi is just gross right? I can’t even think about eating it! That said…you must try toasted marshmallows!! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday

There’s quite a few on here I’ve never done but would love to, like bungee jumping, and some I’ve never done and have no intention of doing like eating sushi.

This was an interesting read. I was thinking about this recently. I went straight into work from college and missed out on the gap year travel thing. It never bothered me or even appealed to me but lately i feel like I need to tick it off!….. maybe when the kids are older and I can do it in hotels rather than hostels!

I counted 9 on here that I haven’t done either. No amount of money would get me bungee jumping and I’m proud to say I have never had so much as a puff of a cigarette. I have however fired an M16 at a shooting range in Cambodia 😂

There’s quite a few things here I’ve not done either! What do you think people find the weirdest?
When people say “You know when you’re on the plane and…” I just find myself nodding, even though I’ve never been on a plane!

I was so close to doing a bungee jump after years of wanting to. Hubby bought me one for Christmas. 3 months later I found out I was pregnant! By the time I had had the Little Man, the gift had expired! Gutted! #coolmumclub

Oh this is such a good idea of a post! Really got me thinking about all the things I haven’t done. This is so fun – just not sure I want to share them as I think my things I haven’t done have got a slightly different spin on them. For example, never spent the night with Robbie Williams etc … that kind of thing! I know! But that’s how my childish mind works! #CoolMumClub

There were some things that I went uurr to like not eating sushi, I love sushi and some things I was nodding along to, like getting the tummy out and stilettos (I have worn them but no more!) Thank you for linking up to #ablogginggoodtime 🎉

I’ve not done a few, but I can’t say I want to either! Caviar has never appealed to me and to be honest, a girls holiday isn’t my idea of fun. I’ve been away with just my best friend. But it was v quiet and grown up. Ish. #coolmumclub

12 things on your list I haven’t done. Can’t stand the smell of sushi and false nails and eye lashes just seems so irritating. I would still love to go bungee jumping and go i a hot air balloon.#TwinklyTuesday

I nodded along to loads of your list!! The circus one though I managed to never do until a couple years ago when I was coerced by the kids…. I was proven right , they are no fun at all and kinda smelly !! #fortheloveofBLOG

There is quite a few things I haven’t done either….
I totally get not firing a gun. I grew up on a farm and just never dared. My younger brother did though.
I got called up for Jury Duty once and it was 2 days before I was due to go into hospital to have my youngest so they said no. I would like to have the chance again though x

I’ve not done so many of those things either, including flying. I have however eaten sushi and I really don’t like raw fish, but that’s not all they do, the cucumber ones are amazing. In fact I love sushi and most Japanese food…just keep those squids and octopus away from me, I tried some once and was feeling sick for days. I hadn’t been to a circus until I went to the one in the Blackpool Tower, it’s great and I’ve been twice now. When I was younger I lived in stilletos and I’ve been a bridesmaid twice.

I have to admit to having done quite a few of these – but there are a quite a few that I haven’t. I’ve never owned a home, fired a gun, been on jury duty, bungee jumped or broken a bone (knock on wood) either. #dreamteam
